The process was challenging and fascinating and I am grateful to have been able to see it all unfold (and "contribute"). It raised all kinds of issues that many of us found chewable. At the end of the day, making a decision is kind of an irrational act. I even wrote two blog posts about decision-making here (yes, I am shamelessly plugging my blog): http://blizzypea.blogspot.com/2008/12/do-something-scary-anyway-its.html and here http://blizzypea.blogspot.com/2009/01/two-indespensible-decision-making-tools.html Taking a risk is a good thing. So is failure. It's all grist for the learning and growing mill. I wish everyone the best and thank you all for sharing this process. And if there really were "haters" out there as you suggest, I was never one of them. I only expressed concerned about professional behaviours, but never had personal feelings about this person I don't know. I'd probably love her! She certainly demonstrated a great deal of courage throughout this ordeal. Cheers and thanks! Scary Liz Phillips Congratulations all around!

It is easy, on the other hand, to see the attributes that helped you decide to hire her and it is to be hoped that this story will have a happy ending or, preferably, no ending at all. Perhaps you, and she, will keep us all posted as to how things are going? Best of luck to both sides of the equation :-) Although not a hater, my approach against hiring was based on the young lady mentioning wanting to be able to add this job to her resume as though she saw it simply as a stepping-stone or door-opener to better things.
